Transcript abundance estimation, mainly through reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), is a common approach employed to investigate the possible role of a candidate gene in certain biological process under study. The accuracy of this technique relies heavily on the selection of adequate reference genes. Initially, genes derived from other techniques (such as Northern blots) were used as reference genes in RT-qPCR experiments, but recent studies in di erent systems suggest that many of these genes are not stably expressed. The development of high throughput transcriptomic techniques, such as RNA-seq, provides an opportunity for the identi cation of transcriptionally stable genes that can be adopted as novel and robust reference genes. Here we take advantage of a large set of RNA-seq data originating from tomato leaves in ltrated with di erent immunity inducers and bacterial strains. We assessed and validated 9 genes that are much more stable than two traditional reference genes. Speci cally, ARD2 and VIN3 were the most stably expressed genes and consequently we propose they be adopted for RT- qPCR experiments involving this pathosystem."],"dc:format":["application\/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet","application\/vnd.ms-excel"],"dc:language":["eng"],"dc:type":"dataset","dc:rights":["info:eu-repo\/semantics\/openAccess","https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.5\/ar\/"],"dc:relation":["info:eu-repo\/grantAgreement\/Ministerio de Ciencia.
